they did a Focus Group.... in America...

there's your problem

Weren't the original boomerang lights the idea of the then-CEO?

Several good choices in here, should we pick a top ten and let them be voted on? I am a big fan of the tails on my own car too, but I doubt they would be in the top ten:

Here is the American version which is also pretty sweet, but I like the European version just a little more:

The BMW 5 Series from a few years ago has epic lights when they're on.

Always liked the taillights on both series of XJS

Love the honeycomb lights on the Trans Am too.

3 out of 4 pages agree. The 1959 Cadillac has the most awesome taillights of all time.

It seems to be a Bitter CD2, and that rear shot is just sublime. Very Fiat Coupe, but more smoothly executed.

Also, the Alfa Romeo 166 has pretty taillights.

I of course like the 67-68 Mustang tail lights

I also like those on the V70R

I always liked the taillights on the 993.

I see your 993, my friend, and raise you a 959 *drool*

Let's throw the 968's rear to the mix.

I really like the new Audi line of taillights.

I prefer the E39 lights.

I dont know, the E39 is a far better car and better looking, but the E60 tailights win on style points, esp when lit.

I don't like that circle in the E60 lights. Ruins them for me. The updated E39 (2001-2003) were the best. When lit they had they Hella stipes and were great.

To me they always looked like Subaru lights.

To me they always looked like Subaru lights.

I think the only problem w that is the E60 and their tailights came out first (in 2003) and the 2nd iteration GD series Impreza and their tailights came out later (in 2004) so youve actually got it backwards.
